This 3 day/2 night Autumn motorcoach trip offers a journey to Greenville and the Foothills of South Carolina. Why choose Greenville? This city revived itself after the collapse of the textile industry to become one of the hottest new destinations in the Southeast! Visionary community leaders have put Greenville on the map, attracting new residents, more than 40 Fortune 500 companies, over 100 headquarters operations, 110 international companies and visitors like you! It's striking in its downtown beauty beginning with Main Street known for the tree canopy, twinkling lights, wind chimes and vibrant shopping and dining. Speaking of dining, your itinerary includes a Progressive Dinner Tour with visits to three restaurants for dinner on the first evening. Greenville has been named one of the "Best Food Cities" in the US by Travel & Leisure. A forgotten waterfall covered by a highway and vegetation was uncovered and developed into Falls Park on the Reedy, the centerpiece of downtown and ranked one of the "10 Top Parks in the US". Additionally, Greenville is an open-air art museum featuring 160 pieces of art including a Dale Chihuly glass sculpture. Neglected textile mills have been converted into food halls and art galleries. The itinerary also includes a guided motorcoach history tour so you can learn all about Greenville's diverse history ranging from its role in plaid to poinsettias and from "Shoeless Joe Jackson" to Stecca Bread". A special treat will be a visit to the Sigal Music Museum. This is a true hidden gem featuring a rare musical instrument collection such as a harpsichord played by a young Mozart and a piano played by Chopin! On departure day, we experience more of the region with a stop at City Scape Winery for a wine tasting, lunch and views of the mountains.
